BMW M2 Coupe (G87) at a glance
Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.
Introduced for the 2022 model year, the G87 generation of the BMW M2 Coupe builds upon the standard 2-Series architecture with significant performance modifications.

The car grew in size compared to its predecessor, adding 110 mm to the wheelbase and increasing its curb weight to 1800 kg.

BMW M2 Coupe (G87) overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior dimensions of the G87 M2 have expanded to accommodate its wider track and performance components, now measuring 4580 mm in length and 1887 mm in width without the mirrors. For buyers looking to optimize weight and track performance, an optional M Race Track package is available. This package replaces standard body panels with a carbon fiber roof and adds carbon interior decor, which together help reduce the vehicle's overall weight by 6 to 8 kg.
Interior
Inside the four-seat cabin, the M2 Coupe embraces a modern digital layout powered by the eighth generation of BMW's iDrive operating system. The dashboard features a large display assembly that combines a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a 14.9-inch multimedia screen. Standard equipment includes three-zone automatic climate control. If the M Race Track package is selected, the standard front seats are upgraded to carbon bucket seats. The trunk offers a practical 390 liters of cargo capacity.
Performance
Power comes from the S58 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine, producing 460 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque. This power is routed exclusively to the rear wheels through an Active M-Differential. Buyers can choose between a standard 8-speed ZF automatic transmission or an optional 6-speed manual. The automatic version achieves a 0-100 km/h time of 4.1 seconds, while the manual takes slightly longer at 4.3 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h for both variants.
Practicality
While built primarily as a high-performance sports coupe, the M2 remains functional for daily driving. It seats four passengers and provides 390 liters of trunk space, which is adequate for everyday errands or carrying track day equipment. The 52-liter fuel tank offers reasonable range given the combined fuel consumption ratings of 9.8 to 10.2 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on the selected transmission.
Safety and tech
The G87 generation is equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety systems as standard equipment. For added convenience during daily commutes, buyers can opt for active cruise control, advanced driver assistants, and parking aids. The core technological upgrade is the iDrive 8 interface, which handles navigation, media, and vehicle settings through its large touch-sensitive display.
Buyer notes
When configuring an M2 Coupe, the primary decision lies in the transmission choice, as the 6-speed manual and 8-speed automatic offer different driving experiences and slight variations in acceleration times. Track-focused buyers should consider the M Race Track package for its weight-saving carbon components and bucket seats. Keep in mind that specific driver assistance options, such as active cruise control, may be optional rather than standard depending on the region.
